Embark Creative Journey - 7Gypsies

Hello there and lovely Thursday! I had the pleasure to work with a new line from 7Gypsies called Serengeti. It's travel and Africa themed, but also has an adventurous side to it. So instead of doing a travel page, I wanted to make something connected with adventure and journey. My layout's title is "Embark creative journey". Please scroll all the way down to find another project I did with the papers!

I mounted a script patterned Serengeti paper to a kraft colored Canvas Corp cardstock. Then I added some masking tape to the background and then gessoed it over to get a one colored surface for the next step. I then created a wood grain style surface underneath the paper layers using Tattered Angels paint kit "Antique Hickory". On top of the dried paint I than layered pieces of Serengeti papers and diecuts. The embellishments include some stickers, paper clips, rope and thread.

I also created a few ATCs using the Serengeti collection. Two of these already have a new home but if you'd like to have the one of the remaining cards, please send me a mail! I'm happy to send these anywhere around the globe.

I started making these by cutting a piece of card stock from Canvas Corp into ATC sized pieces. I added some feel of texture by stamping to the basis with a 7Gypsies stamp. Then I layered the Serengeti papers on top using different size pieces. The main images are cut also from a black and white patterned sheet and then colored with a touch of crayon. The flicks and pools of color are made with Tattered Angels mists and High Impact paints. I also added little word stickers and half pearls to the mix.
